In the era of digital revolution, businesses face the mammoth task of managing burgeoning amounts of data. Migrating to cloud-based systems isn't just an option but a necessity. Yet, optimizing the migration to enhance efficiency and mitigate risks can be daunting.
The Cloud Data Management Capabilities (CDMC) Framework offers an alternative. It is a comprehensive guide from the EDM Council for organizations transitioning their data into the cloud
ProjectiveGroup gave the Framework a thorough assessment. BT Group successfully demonstrated its application, showing how the Framework's strategies significantly streamlined its cloud transformation process. However, the real triumph is not just in the application but in this innovation's promise for the broader industry.
The assessment and deployment showed that using the Framework for cloud data management reduced redundancy in setting up data classification and management structures by as much as 70%. This means thousands of work hours saved and faster deployment of critical strategic applications, data services, analytics, and responsible AI. This efficiency optimizes the business process and helps build trust among stakeholders.
“The CDMC framework offers a robust, safe and ethical grounding for driving value and building trust. It also provides a valuable benchmark for measuring improvements, ensuring that we can continue to lead the field," stated Ben Clinch, an advocate for efficient data management in the industry.
The Framework’s assessment represents an industry-first initiative, illustrating the strength of a multidisciplinary approach in tackling the intricacies of cloud migration and data management. Involving more than 50 experts from 11 different disciplines, it underscored the importance of collaboration in achieving a successful digital transformation.
John Bottega, president of EDM Council, acknowledged the significance of the CDMC framework and independent assessments. He emphasized that this Framework "will give organizations greater confidence in accelerating their own adoption of cloud and hybrid-cloud strategies."
Scott Beange, a significant player in the cloud management space, was part of this process and praised the efficiency of the CDMC framework. He stated, “Working with forward-thinking data professionals embracing the CDMC framework has revealed its potential to mitigate risk, ensure return on investment, and ultimately accelerate the journey to the cloud.”
